Given the statement:
Sophie has 3/4 quart of lemonade.
Determine how many glasses can Sophie fill if she divides the lemonade into glasses that hold 1/16 quart.
Solution:
In order to determine the answer, we simply needed to divide ¾ by 1/16. Before dividing, we must also take note that when dividing with a fraction, we instead take its reciprocal then multiply the to the denominator. In our case we will have 16 as the reciprocal of 1/16 to be multiplied to ¾.
= ¾ / 1/16
= (¾)(16/1)
= 12
Final answer:
= 12 glasses
